Government estimates 257.44 MT foodgrains output for 2011-12

17 Jul 2012 Evaluate

As per the fourth advance estimate by the Government for the 2011-12 crop year (July-June), the country’s total foodgrains production is at an all-time high of 257.44 million tonnes (MT), higher by 5 MT than its April estimate. The Agriculture Ministry had projected foodgrains output at 252.56 MT for 2011-12, in the third advance estimated released in April. The estimate which was released was higher as against 244.78 MT in the previous crop year. This all-time high production is on account of good rain last year. Besides, implementation of several schemes including 'Bringing Green Revolution in Eastern region' in the 11th Five year plan (2007-12) has also contributed to the massive growth in production.

Every year, the government releases five foodgrain production estimates at different stages. As per the current estimate, the country has harvested a record 104.32 MT of rice in 2011-12, as against 103.41 MT in the third estimate. In 2010-11, rice output stood at 95.98 MT.

Similarly, as against production of 86.87 MT in the previous crop year, wheat production has also been revised upward nearly four million tonnes to 93.90 MT. Pulses production has been upped by nearly 2 lakh tonnes to 17.21 MT in 2011-12 but remains lower than 18.24 MT achieved in the 2010-11 crop year.

On the other hand, oilseeds output has been estimated to have been revised downward by 50,000 tonnes to 30.01 million tonnes in 2011-12. In the previous crop year, the production stood at 32.47 million tonnes.

Further, among cash crops, as against 342.23 million tonnes of production in the previous year, sugarcane output has been revised upward by more than six million tonnes to 357.67 million tonnes in 2011-12 while cotton production has been kept unchanged at 35.2 million bales (of 170 kg) in 2011-12, against 33 million bales.
